The beach is a sandy beach with some weeds, with benches and a playground located nearby. The park itself is known for its serenity, and receives low visitation compared to other Saskatchewan regional parks. There is a boat launch, but due to the small size of the lake there is a max 5 km speed limit.
The lake is located in the middle of a section of land that was crown land, and was originally called Fish Lake and renamed to Suffern Lake dedicating it after Jack Suffern who was a government agent (Forest Ranger) for the area from 1914 to 1945. Jack (a local Metis) who lived in the area started stocking Fish Lake with fish during this time.
Keep your distance from other people.
Practicing social distancing is still essential. Only go to the beach if you are able to keep 6 feet or 2 meters away from others. Follow the instructions provided by your local health authorities. If your community has asked that you remain indoors and away from others, do so. Spending a day in any crowded place is the worst thing we can do for our most vulnerable right now and will counter our efforts to curb the virus’s spread.
